Two Divas and That Guy

Just had to point out that two of the Divas (and that Brill fella) have their blogs in the Hot Blogs list on PlanetLotus.org.


To follow-up on all the women in IT postings. We have a great female programmer on our team, I'd probably even trade 2 of the guys on the team for another one like her. (Nothing against you other guys and all, but she's really good...)

    Not to disparage the two divas you're talking about, but I found that list rather surprising this morning, and took a look at the source report normally used by PL.

    http://planetlotus.org/blogs/?report=14

    I think PlanetLotus has a bug at the moment, because the two don't coincide. (I was waiting to see Yancy on Sametime all day so I could tell him, but evidently his real job kept him busy today!)

    That being said, I'm currently in agony that the one female developer on my own team is on maternity leave. She's absolutely irreplaceable. (Sorry, Tim and Devin.... but you know it's true!)

    Yeah, well... Until Yancy "gets it fixed", congrats are still in order regardless of how "surprising" it looked...

    @Duffbert. Of course. I was simply surprised because I expected the Yellow Day traffic to skew those rankings considerably.

    Kathy Brown and Marie Scott are great bloggers and assets to our community. And I'm delighted to see their names up there in any capacity.

    That Ed guy? Not so much.

    @Nate - The fact that it's true doesn't make it any less hurtful. Why are you so mean to me? Don't you love me any more? Does this make me look fat? Why do you hate my mother?

    Don't forget the "Notes Design Blog" entries are largely written by Mary Beth Raven. :-)

Policies and Controls are King in the IT Security world

I came across an article by Roger Grimes over at Infoworld on how security policies and controls are the real power when it comes to IT security. Roger mentions the SANS 20 Critical Security Controls for Effective Cyber Defence , which are a great read for anyone looking at updating or auditing your policies for completeness. The SANS top 20 controls are a must for any organization: Inventory of Authorized and Unauthorized Devices Inventory of Authorized and Unauthorized Software Secure Configurations for Hardware and Software on Laptops, Workstations, and Servers Secure Configurations for Network Devices such as Firewalls, Routers, and Switches Boundary Defense Maintenance, Monitoring, and Analysis of Security Audit Logs Application Software Security Controlled Use of Administrative Privileges Controlled Access Based on the Need to Know Continuous Vulnerability Assessment and Remediation Account Monitoring and Control Malware Defenses Limitation and Control

Error 217 - Error creating product object on Domino 64 bit

I'd like to share something with you.   An error that you'll get if you are trying to use ODBC with Domino 8.5.1 64bit. It starts out with an agent error of Error 217.  The text of the error is "Error creating product object" You can read about it here on the Notes/Domino forum . You can find the solution here as well . I guess I'm now waiting for Domino 8.5.2 for a solution for this.   It would have been nice to have had this in the release notes.  It would have help me greatly.

Reminder: Increase the maximum available memory on your Lotus Notes client JVM today!

Yup, that's right.  Public Service Announcement time. If you haven't increased the maximum memory available to your Lotus Notes JVM yet, what are you waiting for? By default, the Notes JVM only has 256mb of memory available to it.  On a system with 4GB+ of memory, you should be easily able to increase it to 1/4 to 1/3 of the system memory and improve the end user performance. Here's how: Shut down Lotus Notes. In order to make sure that all processes are stopped, run this command:  Start -> Run Type: C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Lotus\Notes\nsd.exe -kill Open: C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Lotus\Notes\framework\rcp\deploy\ Open the "jvm.properties" file in a text editor like notepad.  You will possibly require Administrator permissions. At the beginning of the file, you will see text surrounded by a lot of pound signs ####. The first ‘property’ after the last # sign is: vmarg.Xmx=-Xmx256m Change 256m to 1024m so that the line reads: vmarg.X
